In many cultures, exile or retribution was the answer to murder, and to prevent things getting so heated, strong and secure family and community bonds go a long way.
American prisons (I'm American, and also don't know much about non-US prisons) continue to be a great way to take advantage of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution and thus continue to benefit from slave labor.
My military uniform was made by enslaved people, for example.
I'm with Angela Davis and numerous other abolitionists on this topic.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoWhat would exile look like? where would they be sent? It is hard to imagine another country taking them, and any no-mans land the US establishes would likely be at least as hellish as the prison system. Do we just keep dumping them on some island to Battle Royale/ Hunger games? is that more humane?
